I miss you Daddy is a flash movie posted on YouTube. It tells the serious story of a girl who visits her father's grave a year after the 9/11 attacks .

I miss you Daddy quickly establishes that the girl's father died during the 9/11 attacks, but those attacks aren't focused upon. Instead, the movie focuses on the last year of the girl's life, as she grew up having lost a loved one. During this time, the girl grew a lot, learning to swim, going to Kindergarten, and learning to swing by herself. However, she never forgot about him, and was always comparing her experiences to times she spent with him. She admits that she is sad, but seems optimistic, knowing that her Daddy is in heaven, and she might be able to see him again. The girl might not fully understand what has happened, and is still suffering, but she is strong.
